thanks mate, the respray didn't cost all that much as all the prep was done by my dad and I, and painted by one of dad's relatives....

In my opinion, this is one of the nicest VR statesmans on the road,
The colour compliments it unbelievably well.
Good job buddy, you should be proud.

You should work on interior sometime soon to make that look as classy inside as it does out.
And maybe some bigger, black rims?

looks tops love the colour. im my opinion lower it 1/2 an inch or an inch all round an it will look even better! and a bit darker window tint, twin exhaust and afew little mods the the 304 and you will have one very cool crusier that everyone will be jellouse of
